Answer 1

You could find or create a proxy that provides file-configurable or UI-modifyable speed controls. The proxy would get the request from the client, make the request to the server, receive the response, then s-l-o-w-l-y send the response to the client. (It would probaly use some sort of Thread.Sleep(x) in between sending each byte of the response to the client.)

Answer 2

You can run Fiddler and use its connection throttling to simulate a slow connection.

Note that you'll need to browse to your machine name, not localhost. (localhost. should also work)

Answer 3

Fiddler will do this for you.
